Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 608 - 212: Building an Industrial Park to Boost the Hometown Economy (2)
What the old saying says is indeed true.
"Throwing money at the problem isn’t necessarily wrong, but it has too many side effects in the county," Old Sun first calmly criticized his previous method before proposing his own solution:
"Actually, getting the land requisition done is simple. Most of the people living in that area are government employees and staff from county institutions. By then, you just need the county government to issue a policy and it’ll be settled."
The county government directly issuing a policy?
This was something Sun Dasheng hadn’t thought of.
"Just say it’s a welfare benefit from the county government. They exchange the demolition area for houses in a villa community at a 1:1 ratio. By then, they would be grinning from ear to ear because it’s like trading old and shabby ones for big villas."
"Who wouldn’t be motivated then? They’d have to have something wrong with their head."
Hey, this method is really pretty good.
Moreover, the villas here are different from those in the city.
Apart from a dozen or so standalone villas around the Sun family, the rest are basically townhouses.
It’s like an upgraded version of an old residential area.
In recent years, many moved away or left, and only one or two hundred households were left, long gone were the days of its former glory.
Arranging for all to live in this villa community is more than sufficient.
This is also why Sun Dasheng made this suggestion.
....
After having a family reunion meal at home.
That afternoon.
He made a call to Secretary Zhu to discuss this matter with him.
Secretary Zhu was very pleased on the phone.
"This is a good thing. I’ve heard about that old community, and most of the residents are retired veterans who dedicated themselves to the people. Now being able to make their retirement life better, on behalf of the government, I thank you."
Indeed, most of the residents who hadn’t moved out of this community are retirees of Grandpa Sun and Mrs Sun’s generation. They were the ones who truly contributed to the country and the people, unlike those corrupt officials today.
This is also why Sun Dasheng is willing to do this.
It’s not just because they are old neighbors.
There were corrupt officials in their generation.
Although few, they existed.
But even if they did, it’s unlikely they are still living in those old shabby places.
This is how it’s done: First, the government side informs them, resolving retirement benefits for the retirees, allowing them special permission to exchange for houses in a villa area at a 1:1 ratio.
The retirees, upon receiving the news, naturally rejoice.
Even those who wish to set a good example and are unwilling to take advantage of the state, can’t resist the pleading looks from the younger family members.
"Mom and Dad, you shed blood and tears for the country back in the day, and now that the country’s economy is doing well and wants to give back a little to you, it’s also a show of the state’s care, how can you not understand the country’s intentions? By doing this, you’re making it uncomfortable for the neighbors to accept theirs if you don’t."
Incidentally, give the older generation a brief on the story of Zigong redeeming a cow.
Goodness, if they don’t accept it, they’d become the guilty ones.
Move, move immediately!
The retirees happily moved to their new homes, and the demolition team came over right after.
This old community, along with a large nearby area of factories long ago without benefits and heading toward closure, were incorporated into the county’s economic development zone.
Everything proceeded very smoothly.
Because Secretary Zhu was vigorously pushing it.
Of course, he couldn’t do it alone; the people below all cooperated with him as well.
Perhaps the county was too fearful of staying poor, and also the influence of those benefited retired officials was not to be underestimated.
Once they truly moved into the bright townhouses, each of them spoke highly of Sun Dasheng’s family, frequently sending messages to their former subordinates, urging them to cherish this opportunity and support the work of Secretary Zhu and President Sun.
Striving to make the county’s economy better.
When Sun Dasheng told Old Sun about this at home, he proudly picked up the fishing rod: "Alright, my task is done. Recently, many old buddies have invited me to go fishing, I’m off, let your mom know."
As for Mrs Sun, she now has company too, playing mahjong or dancing at the square frequently, enjoying herself immensely.
Seeing the house empty, Sun Dasheng plopped down on the sofa: "Busy, all busy, being busy is good."
It’s not a complaint.
It’s a genuine belief that elderly people still need to stay active often and have their social circles, it makes things much better.
Not only can it slow down aging, ward off dementia, but most importantly, it diverts their focus away from himself.
The purpose of signing them up for travel groups and letting them travel around was also this.
....
The tallest commercial building in the county previously.
The Xinnong Building was bought by Sun Dasheng to serve as the company headquarters.
As for the company, it’s the newly established one under Keno Capital: Xinnong Group.
Although its name is ’Xinnong’, the main companies under it specialize in agricultural product processing.
It’s mainly to increase the added value of the county’s agricultural products.
The county can no longer remain just a raw material supply base.
For example, in aquaculture, it’s definitely one of the top counties.
But there isn’t any reputable brand in the county.
Crabs are bought by middlemen, taken to Yangcheng Lake for a rinse and become "bath crabs," then sold at doubled prices.
The same goes for crayfish, which are mostly taken to neighboring Qianjiang, branded as Qianjiang crayfish.
The Xinnong Group he established also has a significant portion of its business in aquatic products.
The aquatic products company integrates research and development, seedling cultivation, acquisition, packaging, and sales.
With a local aquatic products company, the local farmers were the first to benefit, as they found the acquisition price for their aquatic products had significantly increased.
Originally, in good seasons, an acre of crayfish could earn ten thousand, but during bad seasons, they could lose money.
Now with Xinnong Group, with the increase in purchase price, they can earn 11-12 thousand.
Don’t look down on such a small improvement; it translates to 10%-20% profits, and slightly larger farmers with a few dozen acres can earn tens of thousands more annually.
Naturally, everyone is all smiles.
As for whether the original county buyers would cause trouble?
Of course, they would.
Cutting off someone’s financial path is like killing their parents.
The middlemen make an obscene profit.
And anyone doing this business is somewhat tainted.
Just like Gao Qiqiang in "The Breaking Wave," who originally did honest business, but wasn’t he forced into it by the small-time gangsters in the aquatic products market?
In this line of work, it’s impossible to separate the black and white.
The former county aquatic company.
The general manager’s office.
The atmosphere was very tense.
"Brother Zhang, the newcomer Xinnong Group is too arrogant, the strong dragon doesn’t oppress the local snake, we’ll do them in."
"Right, Brother Zhang, screw them, if they don’t want us to survive, we won’t let them either."
In the cramped office, tension was high. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Zhang Xinfɑ frowned, the cigarette in his mouth was almost down to half.
Cough, cough...
He smoked too quickly, constantly coughing; seeing the brothers all riled up, he fiercely extinguished the half cigarette on the solid wood table, leaving a deep black mark:
"Do it!"
"Damn it, whoever blocks my financial path, I won’t let it rest."
Hearing the boss speak, the underlings got excited.
The office door was pushed open.
Clang... clang...
A bunch of controlled knives were thrown to the ground, the sound crisp and pleasing.
Dozens of people squeezed into the office at once, like sardines in a can.
But Zhang Xinfɑ was very pleased because all the people here were his most loyal, daring brothers.
Not the kind of street punks who charge in for money.
The current market share he holds was all fought for with knives and guns by them.
Of course... it also involved paying off those above.
"You all wait a moment, I’ll make another call to over there."
He still felt a bit unwilling, wanting to ask his backer what was going on.
After all, having struggled half his life, he’s older now, and it’s time to enjoy life.
In other words, the martial world is not just about fighting, but also about human relationships.
No one answered the call.
He had a bad feeling.
"Boss, let’s do it; as long as we drive those people away, the market is still ours."
"Yeah, let’s get rid of this group of outsiders."
Listening to the brothers’ encouragement, Zhang Xinfɑ didn’t know where his courage came from, his mind firmed up: "Grab your stuff, we’re going to reason with them."
"Right, we’re going to reason."
"Go, let’s show them our power!"
....
Just as the crowd was marching out the door with great momentum.
Outside, they didn’t know when they had been surrounded by a large circle of police.
Not only were there armed officers with small guns, but also armed police with long guns.
"You are surrounded, put down your weapons and strive for a lighter sentence!"
The hot-blooded underlings instantly froze, all turning their heads to look at their leader:
"What do we do?"
